Default Radios

Hi! So being new to the whole RC truck thing I'm learning bit by bit, but the radios and receivers are something to get your head around!

I'm doing a scratch build, a dual cab scania Fire appliance.

Obviously it will have the basic functions, but will need something with a few extra channels as well.

Steering
Gears
Motor

I am also planning on adding a water monitor, which will need two channels, a servo for the diff locks, so one more channel, lights and siren will run off of one channel and if I have a spare channel, the water pump too.

I am looking at a Spektrum DX8 with AR8000 receiver but I don't know if this is suitable, and would like to know if anyone else uses a spektrum dx for their truck!

Any recommendations on light and sound units that will work with the spektrum dx8 would be good too!

Many thanks people!
